What Is Connection With Aluminum In Deodorants And Breast Cancer?



Some years back a woman scientist had gotten into trouble with drug company she was working for when she reported about particular content in underarm deodorant which she said cause cancer in women. Again now I read a report from Great Britain which says doctors have found aluminum salts from deodorants in breast cancer tissues which have been biopsied. But if these studies have been going on for many years now, and they have these proofs, why not do something?

    Please ignore what was reported a few years back. Read the latest information one ow the world’s leading cancer institute-
    No. deodorant and anti-antiperspirant can not cause Breast cancer and it has been told very clearly by different cancer institute -
    # Can antiperspirants or deodorants in aluminum cause breast cancer?
    Articles in the press and on the Internet have warned that underarm antiperspirants or deodorants cause breast cancer (1). The reports have suggested that these products contain harmful substances, which can be absorbed through the skin or enter the body through nicks caused by shaving. Some scientists have also proposed that certain ingredients in underarm antiperspirants or deodorants may be related to breast cancer because they are applied frequently to an area next to the breast (2).
    However, researchers at the National Cancer Institute (NCI) are not aware of any conclusive evidence linking the use of underarm antiperspirants or deodorants and the subsequent development of breast cancer. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration, which regulates food, cosmetics, medicines, and medical devices, also does not have any evidence or research data that ingredients in underarm antiperspirants or deodorants cause cancer. -

    I just saw this answered on Good Morning American last week…..there is NO correlation between deodorants of any kind and breast cancer. Look it up on their site if you need a second opinion.

    Umm, consumption was TB, not breast cancer.

    I found that Aluminum workers are at higher risk of lung and urinary cancers. Now, this means it is linked to working around aluminum, it doesn’t mean aluminum causes cancer.
    That is unproven at this time.

    This is a coincidence, as in the breast lumps taken or biopsies from females just happen to have aluminum in them, not all but enough to run a red flag up the flag pole. I assume they also contained cancer, but that is not mentioned just aluminum. However as I am wearing a ‘pain patch’ as I type this that is 80 times stronger than morphine and sinks into my system via my skin, what does this really mean? Hair dye, perfume, skin cream, make-up, in fact anything we apply to our skin, soaks into the blood stream and then the body. Yet I do not hear any coincidence on say brain tumors and hair dye. Likewise as you get older, you really do not need deodorants, as the body changes and you do not perspire as much as you did at 16. My Grandmothers never had deodorants, but they did have breast cancer, only back then it was called ‘consumption’.
